Melrod faces termination dodges the FBI outwits collaborators in the UAW and becomes the central figure in a lawsuit against the labor newsletter Fighting Times as he strives to build a class - conscious workers movement from the bottom up. A radical to the core Melrod was a key part of campus insurrection at University of Wisconsin Madison. He left campus for the factory in 1973, hired along with hundreds of youthful job seekers onto the mind - numbing assembly line. Fighting Times paints a portrait of these rebellious and alienated young hires many of whom were Black Vietnam vets. Containing dozens of archival photographs Fighting Times captures the journey of a militant antiracist revolutionary who rose to the highest elected ranks of his UAW local without compromising his politics or his dedication to building a class - conscious workers movement. The book will arm and inspire a new generation of labor organizers with the skills and attitude to challenge the odds and fight the egregious abuses of the exploitative capitalist system.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Fighting Times Organising On The Front Lines Of The Class War\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Melrod Jon\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Pm Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781629639659\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 352 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Politics \u0026amp; Government","brand":"Melrod Jon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622065774897,"sku":"IN-G-9781629639659","price":20.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781629639659.jpg?v=1724717511","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781629639659-fighting-times-organising-on-the-front-lines-of-the-class-war","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
